1 (1) Senators 44-18-7-1 They add three players without giving up anyone on their active roster. They know they're broke, right?

2 (2) Canucks 40-18-11-1 It's called dancing with the date that brought you.

3 (3) Stars 39-14-15-2 If it ain't broke, why fix it?

4 (4) Avalanche 34-16-12-7 You know something went wrong somewhere when Bates Battaglia is Pierre Lacroix's biggest deadline day pickup.

5 (6) Red Wings 39-18-9-3 Point on the No. 1 power-play unit: Nik Lidstrom. Point on the No. 2 power-play unit: Mathieu Schneider. Sick. Just plain sick.

6 (8) Blues 36-19-8-6 The Blues are determined to prove a Stanley Cup champion is not built from the net out.

7 (7) Maple Leafs 38-26-5-1 Finally, the Leafs live up to their billing as the Yankees of the NHL.

8 (5) Devils 39-18-6-5 Forty-six players changed hands and the Devils couldn?t find one who could help them on the power play?

9 (9) Flyers 35-18-11-4 We like the trade for Tony Amonte, but going from scoring trouble on a team where the pressure is on him, to a team that has trouble scoring and the pressure is on everyone doesn't sound like a dream come true.

10 (10) Capitals 33-25-8-5 Darryl Sutter once said he likes trading for live bodies because draft picks sometimes turn into bartenders. In this case, a bartender would be more useful than Sergei Berezin.

11 (11) Wild 34-24-9-1 Lost in Tuesday's flurry of trades: the Wild extended Dwayne Roloson's contract. Will they extend Manny Fernandez's, too?

12 (12) Mighty Ducks 33-25-8-4 Lost among the winners and losers, the Ducks have more pluck with Steve Thomas and will give some unsuspecting first-round opponent fits.

13 (15) Lightning 30-23-11-5 Kudos to GM Jay Feaster for not getting greedy and accepting the fact that success is a one-year-at-a-time thing.

14 (19) Predators 27-26-10-5 Considering the moves Rangers GM Glen Sather has made this season, the Predators might want to think about putting him on their payroll.

15 (14) Oilers 30-24-8-8 Tuesday's deadline dealings turned their 5-2 win over Calgary into their most important game of the season.

16 (13) Islanders 30-28-9-2 Apparently, Rick DiPietro's time is now.

17 (16) Bruins 31-27-8-4 Great, two defensemen who used to play college hockey in Boston. Pretty soon, the Bruins will be a Beanpot All-Star team -- which wouldn't be a bad thing.

18 (23) Rangers 28-32-9-2 The fact Anson Carter used to play for Ron Mason at Michigan State is as close as the Rangers came to improving their defense yesterday.

19 (17) Kings 29-32-4-4 Pardon the drool on GM Dave Taylor's tie. It's what happens when you've got to get rid of a top-end defenseman and your secretary yells, "Ken Holland's on the phone!"

20 (18) Canadiens 25-29-9-9 Now that Doug Gilmour is gone, making the playoffs got a bit tougher.

21 (21) Coyotes 27-28-9-4 Three minor leaguers for Jan Hrdina and Daniel Briere for Chris Gratton make the Coyotes the biggest theifs of trade day.

22 (20) Penguins 25-36-4-5 They were going to trade Mario's son before he agreed to deferred payments on his allowance.

23 (22) Blackhawks 25-29-10-5 GM Mike Smith doesn't consider the Phil Housley and Sergei Berezin deals as trades. He prefers to call them "do overs."

24 (24) Panthers 22-27-12-9 Valeri Bure to the Blues. Perhaps the only thing that could make Rick Dudley and Mike Keenan happy on the same day.

25 (25) Sharks 25-33-6-5 It's difficult to believe Ron Wilson signed up for this.

26 (29) Flames 23-32-10-4 First Jordan Leopold, then Mike Mottau, now Mike Commodore. Since when have U.S. college defensemen been considered collectibles?

27 (26) Thrashers 23-35-6-4 The happiest GM? Don Waddell. With fire sales in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, there is no way they can finish last next year, right? (just watch, another useless filler team)

28 (27) Blue Jackets 24-35-7-3 What good is a trade deadline when what you really need is a coach?

29 (28) Sabres 21-32-9-6 Get the feeling there were more unhappy Sabres after the trade deadline than relieved ones?

30 (30) Hurricanes 21-34-9-6 Were things ever this bad in Hartford? (no, the whalercanes have no hope for the playoffs until after the strike, no offense, no defense, shakey goaltending)
